There’s always positive chatter about using sunwear as the logical answer to helping someone build an eyewear
wardrobe but perhaps it’s time to start thinking about building an equally bountiful Sunwear Wardrobe.

Size is now all over the map in a great way from smart to (controlled) ginormous. And the calculated growth of both the P3 and the CatEye shape makes for a zillion rays of insight-on-face. And now colorations suit so very many situations with a variety leaving other accessories and most apparel in the dust.

We’ve charted some evolving scenarios here for women as sunwear earns its honor as as the ultimate accessory.
